Seeing Jian Xubai frowning and walking into the backyard, Yuan Xuexu was shocked, subconsciously took a step forward, and asked, "How is my brother?!" ”

"Xue Pei is still in prison." Jian Xubai looked up and saw her, and he was not surprised, and after bowing his head slightly, he said, "Your Majesty, there will be something going on, and I shouldn't have time to ask him questions in the past two days." I went to the prison before I came back, and the people in the head of the Tori took care of it, and they promised to give him the greatest convenience. ”

Yuan Xuecao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she was still not at ease: "It's about to be winter now, it's already cold in the Imperial Prison, and my brother's legs are the most unbearable, even if the people inside don't embarrass him, where can he live in the Imperial Prison for a long time?" But I don't know what happened to my brother. To be treated like this? ”

She was a little dissatisfied with Emperor Duanhua in her heart, Yuan Xuepei was a hero of the dragon, even if he did, it is said that Emperor Duanhua should be merciful!

But he heard Jian sigh in vain: "Most of his affairs have something to do with King Liang, but don't worry too much, King Liang said that he will be released in two days, so he will naturally not be severely punished!" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Xuexu was surprised and didn't say anything, Song Yixiao also exclaimed: "Didn't you say before that Your Majesty didn't plan to believe King Liang?!" ”

When Yuan Xuepei came over yesterday, he laughed with Song Yi and said that King Liang was eighty percent sure of passing the test-but then Jian Xubai came back and told him about being summoned by Emperor Duanhua to ask about him before leaving the palace: Emperor Duanhua has already chosen to believe Gu Shao, how can you listen to Jian Xubai's current tone, things have changed again?

Counting the time, it's only been one night.

Empress Wei was grounded, it was inconvenient for Empress Dowager Su to say or do anything at this time, and the remaining Empress Dowager had only recently torn her face with Emperor Duanhua - who else could convince Emperor Duanhua in this short period of time?

And this person is speaking for King Liang at this time, isn't he afraid of attracting the suspicion of Emperor Duanhua?

"Let's go in and talk!" Jian Xubai looked at Yuan Xuecao, seeing that she had no intention of evading, thinking that now that Yuan Xuepei was in prison, although Yuan Xuecao did not have any city government, she would not lose her sense of proportion and couldn't save her words, so she didn't say anything to drive her, just went into the house, and when Song Yixiao and Yuan Xuecao also followed up and sat down, after waving off the people, Fang Dao, "Uncle Hengshan brought Guanyun into the palace to avenge his mother-in-law, so Your Majesty let me avoid it first, and appease Uncle Hengshan alone." ”

After a pause, "As a result, I waited in the side hall for a long time, and when I went to Your Majesty again after Uncle Wang's father and son retired, I happened to hear that Your Majesty sent someone to the Imperial Prison to interrogate Song Lu's family, and wanted to know if there was really anything inside about the death of Empress Dowager Cui and Xiao Cui's family." ”

Song Yixiao's face changed slightly: "You mean, the prince of Hengshan said something to His Royal Highness King Liang?" ”

Before, she suspected that King Liang's so-called pass would drag herself into the water with Empress Wei, referring to Cui Jianpi's matter - after all, King Liang had no merit or grace to Emperor Duanhua, and the only place that could impress Emperor Duanhua was that the two were born from the same mother.

As Song Lu said before, the death of Empress Dowager Cui's aunt and nephew has an inside story, which is obviously a foreshadowing of King Liang's calculations.

Although Song Yixiao did not participate in the death of the Empress Dowager Cui, she listened to her husband talk in private and knew that the Empress Dowager actually died from Emperor Xianjia's calculations.

This truth is obviously not in line with the purpose of King Liang.

Then he can only do something about Cui Jianlian's death, after all, Cui Jianlian's death, although she has her own responsibility in it, Song Yixiao and Empress Wei also have a great share.

It's just that Song Yixiao felt that he couldn't figure it out, "Isn't the prince of Hengshan never nosy?" Why did you suddenly wade into the muddy water this time? ”

If you want to say that King Hengshan has anything to do with King Liang in private - this is really unlikely, an old clan like Hengshan Wangfu, when the Xianjia Dynasty was competing for the crown, the eldest princess of the country was so flamboyant, and he couldn't win them over, where did King Liang come from?

What's more, the Hengshan Wangfu is already a hereditary nobleman at this level, even if he succeeds in supporting King Liang, he will be rewarded and rewarded, but he will let himself fall into the situation of being a master of high merit.

"Uncle Hengshan is naturally not a nosy person, I think maybe Uncle Wang's unintentional words made His Majesty think of something, right?" Jian Xubai took advantage of Yuan Xuexu's inattention, gave his wife a look, and said in a casual tone, "Anyway, Xue Pei will be fine, don't worry!" ”

Song Yixiao understood what her husband meant, and said it in front of Yuan Xuecao if she had something to say, and she also followed her husband's words and comforted Yuan Xuecao.

The husband and wife comforted Yuan Xuecao for a while, and saw that it was not too early, so they sent her back.

When Song Yixiao boarded the car, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, what about Third Brother Lu?" ”

Lu Guanlun is not only Yuan Xuexu's husband, but also the cousin of the Yuan family's brothers and sisters, Yuan Xuepei was imprisoned, it is impossible for him not to ask, how could he let his pregnant wife go out alone?

"He contracted a cold two days ago, which was quite serious." Yuan Xuexu sighed, "I've been recuperating on the couch for the past two days, and when I learned about it today, I was about to struggle to get up, but I persuaded me to stop - although my actions are a little heavy now, it doesn't hurt to make people hold on to them!" He only showed signs of improvement, but he couldn't afford to toss! ”

Song Yixiao suddenly asked, asked a few words about Lu Guanlun's body, and asked someone to go to the warehouse to get some medicinal materials for her to take back, and then accompanied her to the car.

sent Yuan Xuecao all the way back to Zhaodebo Mansion, and watched her drink a bowl of fetal medicine, Song Yi smiled and said goodbye and went back to his home.

When she returned to the Yanguo Mansion, the freshened Jian Xubai was already waiting for her in the inner room.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly change his attitude?" After Song Yixiao entered the door, he immediately waved back and asked in a low voice, "But it has something to do with the current prince of Hengshan Palace?" ”

She thought about it, the matter that the Hengshan Palace's mansion could get involved with King Liang was the matter of establishing Lu Guanqun as the prince of the world - Lu Guanqun had never been among the candidates for the prince of the world, because after Wei Mengying was assassinated and died, King Liang mentioned in front of Emperor Duanhua that Lu Guanqun had a cousin relationship with them, and Emperor Duanhua hinted at King Hengshan and established Lu Guanqun.

Otherwise, judging from King Hengshan's love for his young son Lu Guanyun in the past two years, maybe he will follow Wei Mengying's wish before his death and establish Lu Guanyun?

"I just said that just to prevaricate Xuepei's sister." Jian Xubai shook his head and said, "Actually, why did Your Majesty change his mind, I had already inquired before leaving the palace, and it had nothing to do with Hengshan Wang's uncle and father and son—they just happened to meet at the right time!" ”

His expression was gloomy and he said, "It's because Her Royal Highness the Great Princess of True Yang entered the palace to face the saint!" ”

The eldest princess of Zhenyang is the grandmother of Princess Sikong Yihan of Liang and the aunt and grandmother of Emperor Duanhua - it was this eldest princess who was worried that there were no outstanding children among the descendants of the Sikong family, in order to continue the wealth of the Sikong family, she specially entered the palace and asked the empress dowager to let her granddaughter Sikong Yiluo marry King Liang in order to borrow the royal power.

In addition to this incident, the eldest princess of True Yang has been very low-key over the years.

is so low-key that she doesn't show up at all except for the banquets she has to attend, and she doesn't associate with noblewomen of similar status and age.

Therefore, the imperial capital basically forgot about the eldest princess.

Song Yixiao was no exception - when she heard that she had entered the palace at this moment, she was stunned for a moment before asking, "She entered the palace...... When she entered the palace, she was able to make His Majesty change his mind? ”

I remember that when Sikong Yiluo died, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom told her about this matter, and she only said "It's a pity", obviously the family relationship with the eldest princess of Zhenyang is not very deep. The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is only the niece of the eldest princess of Zhenyang, and Emperor Duanhua is separated by another generation from the eldest princess of Zhenyang.

Would Emperor Duanhua give face to the eldest princess of Zhenyang like this?

"The eldest princess of Zhenyang mentioned the death of Empress Dowager Cui to Her Majesty." Jian Xubai said this and glanced at his wife, "Do you remember when Princess Liang was pregnant, she was secretly manipulated by the people around her, right?" At that time, it was you who reminded the Sikong family, and the prince of Liang was saved. ”

Song Yi smiled and groaned: "There is such a thing, but what does it have to do with the death of Empress Dowager Cui?" ”

"Princess Liang originally had a very bad relationship with her mother's family, but she was reconciled because of this incident." Jian Xubai said, "After Sikongjia helped her to have a safe pregnancy, he naturally had to find out who was harming her." Later, they told you that it was because after Empress Dowager Cui was grounded, some palace people resented Princess Liang because of trivial matters, and what they did in private - in fact, it was just prevarication - in fact, this matter was very complicated: Princess Liang was diagnosed by a doctor who often went to the house to diagnose at that time, how could she be drugged for so long without knowing it? Sikong Jia found out, it was because the poison in her was so clever and hidden, that even the imperial doctor was blinded! ”

"And this kind of medicine, naturally it is impossible for a mere palace person to get it?" Song Yi smiled and groaned, "Can the Sikong family find out the real murderer?" ”

Jian Xubai shook his head and said, "No! Because they found out later, they found out that the Empress Dowager Cui was on the head, and then they couldn't find out the clues, thinking that the people behind the scenes had a good idea, and after privately telling the Empress Dowager Cui, the Empress Dowager Cui was helpless, and because of the situation at the time, the Empress Dowager Cui didn't want to make extraneous branches, and told them to keep it secret, so it was over. ”

Now that the princes of King Liang have landed, after a few years, the eldest princess of Zhenyang mentioned this matter again, of course, not to seek justice for her granddaughter.

But he used this incident to raise suspicions about the death of the Empress Dowager Cui: "The Empress Dowager Cui has always been in good health, even if there is an occasional illness, she is in the deep palace, and it is very convenient to summon the imperial doctor, how can it pass overnight and say that it is gone?" Since someone could quietly murder the granddaughter of the palace, who knew the death of the queen mother, did he have any inside information? ”

As for why she didn't say it sooner or later, she only said it now, and the eldest princess of Zhenyang also had a reason, "At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Cui made the decision to press this matter, although our Sikong family felt sorry for the child, in the end we couldn't bear to brush off the queen mother's intentions!" In the past two years, King Liang has been good and decent, and now King Liang was suddenly imprisoned, although His Majesty is lenient and benevolent, Xu his wife still lives in the palace. But Your Majesty, please think: The granddaughter of this palace grew up in Zhuangzi, how could she have learned the methods of a large family? ”

"The prince of King Liang is young and in poor health, and he will definitely have to take up a lot of the time and energy of the granddaughter in this palace!"

"What if the person who killed the granddaughter of the palace back then makes a comeback, and now there is no King Liang in the palace to preside, but they are called mother and son?!"

"For the sake of their mother and son's life, this palace can only disobey the order of the Empress Dowager Cui before her death and ask Your Majesty for mercy!"

Why Princess Liang was drugged back then, Emperor Duanhua no longer knew it.

Now that the eldest princess of Zhenyang is mentioning this matter again under the banner of caring about her granddaughter and her granddaughter's son, Emperor Duanhua will inevitably suspect that this is the eldest princess of Zhenyang who knows the inside story and uses the holy reputation and the name of the Empress Dowager Cui to tell her about the conditions.

Although the Sikong family was prominent when it was founded, it is now in decline.

The emperor was not afraid of the eldest princess of Zhenyang, but the two kings of Suxiang were not removed, and Emperor Duanhua had some scruples, and after hesitation, he finally decided to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of Empress Dowager Cui's aunt and nephew in accordance with the intention of the eldest princess of Zhenyang!

Jian Xubai and his wife didn't know the truth about Princess Liang's drugged before, but at this moment, Emperor Guanduanhua's attitude changed, and they couldn't help but be suspicious: "My daughter-in-law was pregnant but was secretly murdered, and Empress Dowager Cui couldn't find out the real murderer. That's weird! ”

"So I suspect that Empress Dowager Cui may know who the real murderer is, and this real murderer is what she wants to maintain. Therefore, he found an excuse to suppress Sikong's investigation. Jian Xubai frowned and said, "Therefore, Your Majesty will listen to the words of the eldest princess of Zhenyang, and change his mind." ”

The couple glanced at each other, and they both suspected that the murder of Princess Liang might be Emperor Duanhua - after all, they could let Empress Dowager Cui protect them at the beginning, and now they can make Emperor Duanhua compromise, and there are only a few people back and forth.

"I'll keep an eye on this next." Jian Xubai comforted his wife tactfully, "Gu Xiang has also been discussing with Wei Xi and others privately in the past two days how to help the queen get out of trouble. ”
